Nine strangers. Two countries. One unforgettable journey.
When a heritage restoration team assembles in Yogyakarta, no one anticipates how deeply the land-and each other-will change them. From Java's humid poetry to Istanbul's echoing calls to prayer, Borrowed Time is a slow-burn, ensemble journey about love, memory, identity, and the spaces between loss and rediscovery.

Whispers Breathed in Moonlight
✮⋆˙"This book will heal you, one stolen glance and whispered word at a time."⋆✮ Kasi never meant to go viral. One sarcastic comment about a famous singer's lyrics - and suddenly the entire internet thinks she's his new muse. Ayush Malohtra, known to the world as Eclipse, never replies to fans. Never flirts. Never lets anyone close enough to touch the parts of him he keeps locked behind melody and midnight. Until a girl named Tulip throws one bold sentence into his mentions... and something in him stirs. Now the world is watching. Fandoms are spiraling. Edits, theories, hashtags, chaos everywhere. And between it all - a singer who's forgotten how to feel, and a girl who never meant to be seen, find themselves orbiting each other in a way neither expected. Is it a spark? Is it curiosity? Or is it just the silence finally meeting its chaos? A story about accidental fame, reluctant muses, and the kind of connection that begins as a whisper - but grows loud enough to change everything. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀![Closer To You [jikook]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/397961039-256-k458815.jpg)
Closer To You [jikook]
In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.Complete

Film copyright is available with $0.5M + wattpad publishers right cost. Please contact. Visual support provided for the story please read again Dedication of my Story is to my Grand parents revolutionary Ramesh Chowdhury and Revolutionary Basana Chowdhury against colonialism. As Author my request is "don't treat the book as a #textbook . It is purposefully a story book. " Though I shall be happy if people get interested about the adventurous science or thrilling history. The story is a science fiction and predictive modelling of future of the earth , drafted with a link to the history. Basic idea of the story is to feel that hope always will be there for rising from the ashes whether from natural disaster as the strong positive vibes and war from the peace process. Though to achieve that needs the freedom. #linkintoepi #book #bookstagram #books #booklover #reading #read #bookaddict #bookworm #instabook #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookphotography #reader #booklove #bookaholic #livre #libro #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #author #bookblogger #livrestagram #bookreview #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity #bookrecommendations #bookloversComplete
The Stillness Between Two Hearts
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑇𝑤𝑜 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 Kai lives like the world doesn't touch him-late nights, forgotten classes, and memories he doesn't talk about. When his mother forces him to start visiting his dying grandmother in the hospital every weekend, he doesn't expect much to change. Until he meets Mira. Room-bound and quietly brave, Mira is a girl who's lived more years inside hospital walls than out. She writes poems she never reads aloud and dreams of rooftops she might never reach. She's fighting a battle she rarely speaks of-and she stays, while everyone else leaves. In the stillness between IV drips and heart monitors, two strangers find a rhythm of their own. As Mira's condition worsens and Kai's grief deepens, they cling to starlit secrets, shared music, and the fragile beauty of a connection they never saw coming. Some love stories are built on forever. Theirs begins in borrowed time.Complete
